If you are working on a particularly large Word document (such as a dissertation or thesis) then Word can become slow when inserting/editing EndNote citations. To speed up the process of working with the two programs together try:

EndNote citations will be unformatted (in temporary delimiters such as {author#number}) and no reference list will appear. New EndNote citations will be inserted in this unformatted state but will insert much more quickly. When you have finished work on a document or section reformat your document:

Ensure you have your EndNote library open and the correct style chosen in Word

Click on Update Citations and Bibliography

Your in-text citations will be reformatted and your reference list will appear at the end of your document.
